The first thing people think about when they think of diamonds is “how many carats.” However, when you tell someone that a diamond is one carat or two carats, they may realize that they don’t know what that really means.

Moreover, people have a hard time understanding the difference between carat and karat, having no idea that one is a measure of weight and the other a measure of gold purity. In this article, we’re going to get to the bottom of the word carat.

Each year that you are married deserves a celebration, but you also have to think about gifts, because each year also deserves a shared gift. You can no longer just look at league of legends accounts for sale
to buy your significant other. One of these accounts might do for a simple birthday, but your anniversary is so much more than that. Traditionally, each year has its own material. For instance, the second year is cotton, the third is leather and the fourth is fruit and flowers. The fifth year is exciting because it calls for wood. You may be thinking, “Wood, what could you possibly get your partner that is made out of wood and that is romantic at the same time?” You would actually be surprised. Here are some great fifth anniversary gifts.

The perfect anniversary is not something you can simply throw together and hope it all turns out. Of course, you can go the unplanned route, but you are often leaving too much up for chance.

If I had planned ahead then I wouldn’t have been so stressed over the one gift! It did luckily arrive on time though. Ideally, if you’re having a night out then you want to plan it at least a month in advance – six months if you are planning on putting together a getaway. Other than that, there are a lot of other things you need to keep in mind for a killer anniversary. Here are five tips for planning the perfect anniversary.
